Ahhh yes.
Peace.
And quiet
Peace and quiet.
That's our wish. Have you ever wondered if its
possible to have absolute peace and quiet? What
would it sound like? If you could hear your own
heartbeat, would that be noise or part of the peace?
Uh-oh, we're off and pondering again...
What does peace and quiet sound like?
